I would check her calcium sacks in her mouth- and not breed her a while. Back to back clutches over time will deplete her of calcium big time, as well as other needed nutrients. Shaking is a sign of MBD, but Id get her to a vet to be sure. PS, Please use the appropriate forum for any rehoming/sales as breeders here dont advertise their animals as per the TOS you signed to join the forum. Out of respect for them, please dont use this as a sales forum. Thanks!

Shaking or seizures is usually a sign of MBD (metabolic bone disease). If she is shaking, a vet appointment should be made so she can get a good amount of calcium in her. She may be beyond dusting crickets in calcium and need something stronger and quicker.
BTW, laying two clutches in a row is not a bad thing. A healthy well calcified female should be able to 6-8 clutches with only a little bit of weight lost in a season. I have my girls on their 5th-6th clutch and are well calcified and great body weight.

Thanks Ento for the info on breeding. I havent bred yet, Floyd has no mate (yet)- I had read somewhere its not good to overbreed your females because of MBD- dont remember the source now.
